Ladies Profile

Good morning crafters 😊

What are we all up to? Any crafting on the agenda?

I'm back with my weekly Bee Crafty DT blog over on Buzzy Goings On At Bee Crafty Blog 

I've been combining all my favourite stamps again, with my favourite ever colour,  Cracked Pistachio. ..lol. I just LOVE this shade of green and today it's combined with blues

For this sample I've used:
Splatter Swirl Upright Rectangle Frame
Ladies Profile 
BEAUtanicals Wildflower 2
Life &Rain

Also used:
Distress Oxides : Cracked Pistachio
Distress Inks : Salty Ocean, Tumbled Glass
Smokey Grey versafine ink
Dinkables: Chain Link, Honeycomb

• I inked up the Splatter Swirl frame in Cracked Pistachio DO and stamped it in the centre of my card blank 
• Having masked the frame off, I stamped the Ladies Profile in Salty Ocean DI
• On the opposite outside edge corners of the frame, I blended Tumbled Glass DI through the Honeycomb stencil and Cracked Pistachio DO through the Chain Link stencil 
• The Wildflower was then stamped randomly in both the Salty Ocean and Tumbled Glass DI'S 
• To complete I stamped the sentiment in Smokey Grey versafine ink 

I hope you like both the combination of stamps, and colours, I've used as much as I do

Many thanks for popping by and I'll be back again next week with another Bee Crafty blog

LIFE- Ground Elder

Good morning everyone

What's everyone got planned for today?  Hope you all get some crafting done 😊

I'm back today with my weekly Bee Crafty DT blog over on
Buzzy Goings On At Bee Crafty Blog

I just love to mix up all my stamps and see what I come up with.
Today I'm showcasing a card I made using the following stamp sets :

Splatter Swirl Upright Rectangle Frame
Ground Elder 
Life & Rain

Also used:
Dinkable: Honeycomb
Distress Oxides:  Cracked Pistachio, Wilted Violet, Picked Raspberry
Distress Ink: Tumbled Glass
Versafine black onyx ink

• I stamped the Rectangle Frame in the Versafine in the centre of my card blank 
• Masking off the edges, I blended the DI from darker, to lighter, towards  the centre of the frame
• I blended Cracked Pistachio DO through the Dinkable around opposite corners of the frame
• Whilst the frame was still masked off, I inked up the Ground Elder in Cracked Pistachio and Wilted Violet DO and stamped it inside the frame. I also added a hint of Picked Raspberry DO onto the heads of the flowers and re stamped it
• I stamped the LIFE part of the sentiment across the middle of the stem, in Cracked Pistachio DO and the remainder of the sentiment in black versafine 

I hope you like the combination of these stamps and colours.

Splatter Swirl Upright Rectangle Backdrop Frame and Life sentiment stamp

Afternoon crafters

Had some free time so thought I'd blog a card I made the other day using

Splatter Swirl Upright Rectangle Backdrop Frame 
Life sentiment stamp
Both by www.beecrafty.net 

Also used:
Distress Oxides: Wilted Violet, Worn Lipstick, Fossilized Amber, Cracked Pistachio
Black onyx versafine ink

A very simple but beautiful card to make using masking, one of my favourite techniques 

I masked off a panel down the middle of the card 

The distress oxides were blended across the panel, placing emphasis on getting a smooth blend between each colour, using a circular blending motion 

The Splatter Swirl Upright Rectangle Backdrop Frame and the Life sentiment were both stamped in black onyx versafine ink 

I stamped part of the Backdrop Frame stamp in the top left hand corner of card blank, to balance my card

I hope you like this card as much as I do

Splatter Swirl Upright Rectangle Backdrop Frame from Bee Crafty

Morning everyone  xx

What have you got planned for today?

I'd like to share a canvas I made using the following :
Splatter Swirl Upright Rectangle Backdrop Frame  (Bee Crafty) 
You stamp set (Julie Loves...)
Lustre Luxe: Sea Green, Lavender Quartz (Bee Craft)
Texture Paste
Stencil
Black Onyx Versafine ink

To begin I used texture paste through a stencil and dried it off with heat gun 

 Next i blended the Lustre Luxe's over the canvas 

I stamped the You sentiment on black card with the Sea Green Lustre Luxe and cut it out

The Upright Rectangle Backdrop Frame was stamped onto the canvas in black onyx versafine ink, as was the remainder of the sentiment stamps

I also stamped parts of the Upright Frame around the canvas, in the black ink

I adhered the cut out 'You' sentiment with 3d pinflair glue gel  to complete my canvas 

I hope you like the canvas and many thanks for popping by

Splatter Swirl Upright Rectangle Backdrop Frame and Cherry Blossom stamp set

Afternoon crafters

It's soo hot..I'm melting lol
Hope you're enjoying the sunshine xx

I thought I'd share a second blog post so this one features the
Splatter Swirl Upright Rectangle Backdrop Frame  from Bee Crafty

Cherry Blossom stamp set and die from
Honey Doo Crafts 

True Friends stamp set by Stamps By Me 

Also used:
Tim Holtz Mixed Media Thinlits
Distress Ink: Twisted Citron
Kuretake clean colour pens
Versmark ink
Gold embossing powder
Black onyx versafine ink

I cut a square of black card and a slightly smaller square of white card. I set the black mat aside

I masked off a section of the Upright Frame,  as I only wanted a "corner " stamped image. I inked up the stamp in the Twisted Citron, removed the tape and stamped the corner frame onto the white card

I die cut out the mixed media 

I stamped one of the Cherry Blossoms onto white card, in Versmark ink, and heat embossed in gold embossing powder 

I coloured it in with my kuretake clean colour pens 

I stamped the True Friends sentiment in black versafine ink, near the top corner of the white card

I matted the white stamped card onto the black mat then adhered this to the card blank. I then adhered the mixed media die cuts and the flower, to complete this card

I love the clean and simple look incorporating lots of different products 

Thankyou for stopping by

Fables and Fantasy Delight stamp and Splatter Swirl Upright Rectangle Backdrop Frame stamp by Bee Crafty

Morning lovely crafters

Are we all ok this morning?

I've been getting very inky recently and thought I'd share a card I made using the following stamps from    Bee Crafty 

Fables and Fantasy Delight
Splatter Swirl Upright Rectangle Backdrop Frame 

Also used:
Watercolour card
Pixie Powders
Stencils
Versmark ink pad
Black onyx versafine ink
Black fine line pen

I cut some water colour card slightly smaller than A5 card blank 

I used Versmark ink through a stencil then added pixie powders, to create a vibrant and fun background. The Versmark resists the powders hence this fab effect 

I stamped part of the Backdrop Frame, in black onyx versafine ink, along the bottom of the background and to the top left. 

Delight was then stamped in the black ink,  so she stood on the frame accent

I stamped a sentiment onto white card, cut it up and adhered them randomly to background 

This was then adhered to card blank using wet tacky glue

To finish I drew black wiggly lines around the background,  to create a frame

Thankyou very much for stopping by

Bee Crafty Splatter Swirl Upright Rectangle Backdrop Frame and Lustre Luxe's

Afternoon crafters
How has your day been soo far?
I've had a fab weekend getting very inky and messy with mixed media projects..love it lol

Anyway I'd love to share a canvas I made using some new products I've just bought from Bee Crafty, which I wanted to try out
www.beecrafty.net

I used the following products:
 Splatter Swirl Upright Rectangle Backdrop Frame
Lavender Quartz Lustre Luxe  

I also used Pebeo Dyna acrylic paints
Stencils

To begin I put some of my Lustre Luxe on a glass block, added some water and used as a wash over the canvas.

I did the same with the Dyna paints. 

I also used some straight from the containers, to create a thicker consistency and more intense colour 

I heat blasted it quickly, then put some more of the Lustre Luxe on my block before using it through a variety of stencils. It acts like a texture paste and creates a 3d dimension to the canvas. And the shimmer is wow!! 

I then stamped the backdrop frame in black onyx versafine ink. I also stamped elements of it randomly around the canvas

The sentiment was also stamped in the black ink and to finish I added some white gel highlights.

I hope you like my canvas and I thankyou for popping by
